    Subject:  [inconsistency] -Upgrading LambdaCore to 1.8.0-

    This takes place on my mac at home, not my RS/6k, using MGM.

    I was upgrading the core using this wonderful facility from
    http://flake.org:8989/742, and I noticed the following.  Unfortunately,
    I'm
    only smart enough to notice that this is a problem, not to determine if
    the
    problem is serious.  The verb compiled well.  Any comments would be
    appreciated.

     -Upgrading LambdaCore to 1.8.0-

    $prog:@rmverb

    If you used the $code_utils verbs on the earlier pages, you'll want to
     change this line (21):

       while (loc >= 0 && verb_args(object, tostr(loc)) != argspec)
    to this:
       while (loc >= 1 && ...
    or optionally:
       while (loc && ...

    BUT from the LambdaCore-latest.db it looks different:

    lis 21
     21:       while ((loc >= 0) && (verb_args(object, tostr(loc)) !=
    argspec))

    so I did this

    "     while ((loc >= 1) && (verb_args(object, tostr(loc)) != argspec))

    Was this any good?
    Thanks

    ALSO

    $prog:@display
    86:    for n in [0..length(vrbs) - 1]
    87:      vrb = setadd(vrb, {what, tostr(n)});

    These are really lines 90-91, right?

    101:       for n in [0..length(verbs(z)) - 1]
    102:         vrb = setadd(vrb, {z, tostr(n)});

    These are really lines 105-106, right?

    133:    short = strsub(y = index(q, " ") ? q[1..y - 1] | q, "*", "");
    into this:

    These are really lines 137, right?

    I was upgrading to the new server lately with a
    complete new database based on LambdaCore... I
    remember to having to search around to find some
    of the code mentionned... Mostly, the "wonderful
    facility" doesn't list all the changes who have to
    be done, but mainly those who must be done. Look
    a little around, a learn a lot doing that :)

    I notice some more tricky ones in doing that and
    posted to this list... Helas! I lose temporarely
    the access to my account and can't retreive it.
    If you have access to an archive of this mailing
    list, check around the month of june...

    The contradiction is not that free software are among the best,
       it's that commercial software aren't the best of them.
